Same issue, came up when trying to edit laucher in favorites panel. To replicate: Rclick launcher icon (happens for yum, rpm, or self-compiled application) Select "Edit" Lclick icon to bring up Nemo window While searching the error is typically thrown If I select a .png from a 3rd party icon pack and apply, it will disappear from the launcher. If you then go to Settings --> Theme --> More Settings --> Icons and go back to defualt or another loaded theme, all the missing icons reappear in the panel applet.
